Stewart & other island lists

This page is for Stewart Island, the Subantarctics, the Kermadecs, and other areas that don't properly fit elsewhere. Same may notice inconsistent criteria (e.g. Main islands allow for more offshore pelagics while more restricted for smaller island groups). Had to set the limit somehow so please let me know if you disapprove and have a better idea!)

Subantarctic Life Lists

For all of the Subantarctic lists below, observers must either be on the island(s) or if on a boat, within 5 nautical miles of the nearest land. Chatham Islands (as a collective) are not included here as eBird already covers that region as a "state", however "Chatham Island" (singular) is below.
